predictions about travelling that might happen in 2070.
At the airport
You will use the “heartbeat passport” at the airport. And passport checks will not be used any more. Because everyone’s heartbeat is different and it can tell people who you are and where you will go. Also, it provides more personal information.
On the airplane
The airplane seat can fit a person’s body shape, size and even temperature. There will be no screens on the airplane. With a futuristic device, you can watch many kinds of movies right before your eyes.
In the hotel
3D printing technology(3D 打印技术) will develop surprisingly fast. It can print almost everything, like clothes and food. So when you get to the hotel, you won’t need a suitcase any more.
During the trip
The trip will become interesting and colourful. You can enjoy many kinds of services during the trip. If you want to see what happened in the Ming Dynasty or the first Olympic Games, you can just wear a special headset or a pair of glasses.

本题为英语阅读理解题,分为根据短文内容完成句子和拟标题两部分。解题思路是先通读短文,理解文章关于2070年旅行的相关预测内容,再针对每个小题定位原文对应段落,提取关键信息完成作答:第1题通过上下文语境猜测词义;第2-4题直接从原文定位对应内容;拟标题需概括文章核心主题。
【解析】
1. 词义猜测题:第一段提到“Here are some amazing predictions about travelling that might happen in 2070”,此处指未来可能发生的旅行相关内容,故“predictions”意为“预测”。
2. 信息提取题:第一段第二句明确说明“Maybe travel will become smarter and easier by that time”,直接提取两个形容词即可。
3. 信息提取题:第二段第一句指出“You will use the “heartbeat passport” at the airport... it can tell people who you are”,可知机场用于识别身份的是“heartbeat passport”。
4. 信息提取题:第四段提到“3D printing technology... It can print almost everything, like clothes and food”,依次提取对应内容。
5. 拟标题:文章围绕2070年的旅行展开,核心主题是2070年的旅行情况,故可拟标题为“Travel in 2070”。
